Srirangapatnam (Mysore/Karnataka) - SAVAARI IN SOUTH INDIA


Our Journey started from Hyderabad (also called Hi-Tec city) on 15th Oct 2012. Actual program was about attending an Interview at Bangalore. We booked a bus ticket from a private travels. To my goodness, they allotted us in an A/C bus, instead of super deluxe. Sharp 8:05PM started from Miyapur-Hafeezpet junction. Ours is the first pickup. After picking up all other others and to exit Hyderabad outskirts it was almost 10:50PM.

How ever the head ache was finished the next day. Now suddenly planned for trip, may or may not come again to Bangalore. And also after marriage we haven’t went any place to visit. So, we booked a package with a private travel agent.

India Travel Plan
Make a big vacation for a bigger tourism country like India. Travelling through Indian attractions, by traditional Railways or by bus, takes much unexpected time than planned. Travelling in India is an amazing however can be exhausting some times. So, make time for relaxing, chilling out and back in to Journey.
Pre-planning is Mandatory when its journey in India. for your information, travelling miles and miles by train in India often get fully reserved many weeks in advance, so the earlier you can buy your train ticket, the better. Alternatives: Bus journey and don’t necessarily require advance booking.
